Eindhoven, Noord-Brabant, Nederland Eindhoven University of Technology Voltijd

A career-defining opportunity awaits a talented Mechanical Engineering, Computational Mechanics or Applied Mathematics graduate to contribute to the development of sustainable nuclear technologies for medical and energy applications.

About Us

We are the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), a dynamic and ambitious university at the forefront of innovation. Our interdisciplinary setting provides a unique environment for collaboration and growth.

Job Overview

This PhD position focuses on developing a multi-scale modelling framework for predicting the influence of irradiation on mechanical properties of reactor materials. As a key member of our research team, you will work closely with experts in mechanics of materials and materials science to bridge the gap between physical processes and macroscopic application scales.

Responsibilities
  • Develop a multi-scale approach to model microstructure evolution under neutron loads and irradiation hardening and embrittlement.
  • Apply a combination of modelling techniques, including cluster dynamics, crystal plasticity, and probabilistic brittle failure models.
  • Predict the influence of irradiation on mechanical properties of an aluminum alloy used in structural components of research reactors.
Requirements

To succeed in this role, you will need:

  • A strong background in Mechanical Engineering, Computational Mechanics, or Applied Mathematics.
  • A deep understanding of mechanics of materials and materials science.
  • Experience with multi-scale modelling and micromechanics is highly desirable.
  • Excellent oral communication and writing skills in English.
What We Offer

In addition to a competitive salary, we offer:

  • A full-time employment contract for four years, with regular evaluations and opportunities for professional growth.
  • A generous benefits package, including a pension scheme, paid leave, and annual bonuses.
  • A state-of-the-art technical infrastructure and access to top-notch facilities.
  • A supportive team environment with opportunities for collaboration and networking.
  • A relocation allowance and assistance with settling into the area.

The estimated salary for this position is approximately €52,000 - €63,000 per year, depending on qualifications and experience.
